Notes
Rolex unveiled the GMT-Master II in 1983 and with its introduction came plenty of “firsts” for the pilot watch collection. Following the first GMT-Master II, Rolex launched the ref.16710 in 1989. For the second iteration of the GMT-Master II, Rolex offered a robust collection of different metal variations and bezel options.
Along with the steel GMT-Master II ref. 16710, there was also the two-tone yellow gold and steel GMT-Master II ref. 16713 and the full yellow gold GMTMaster II ref. 16718.
